ok guys I wish to buy this for my mother so need to know just two things..

first I tell you, she is gonna use it for surfing and then little reading and videos.. and basic stuff.. mostly for browsing on wi-fi (will also need to buy router for this.)

How is battery life, Is 3-4 hours daily possible?

and how is Display.. does it give stress on eyes while reading..

3hrs sure, 4 hrs will be pushing it.

I was using Cyanbook v0.2 for a long time the only problem was that
"Special Co-ordination system for games" was not there. I didn't know Cyanbook v0.3 has been developed, thanks for the info. Downloading right now.
CM9 Based Rom are the bestttt.

MICROMAX SHOULD HAVE A BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP WITH TENIDA

Special coordination system has been added in v0.3

Its about 3-4 hours with stock and if you flash it to custom ROM like Cyanbook 0.3 you will get about 6-7 hours on normal using with Wifi on

Yaaaaaaayyyyy... Got my FB today....everything is working fine so far...am happy.
But one doubt, even I haven't opened any apps but RAM is "used 350 MB" and only "160 MB" is free. Actually a lot of apps's Cache are working (mostly that of Googles). How to get back this used RAM?

I will suggest you to flash to custom rom (Cyanbook 0.3) to get best performance out of Funbook

Is there any way to combine the internal storage and the 2GB sdcard, which is actually internal storage, to get the full 4GB?

I cannot install CWM, and I have Superuser installed, root access granted, checked using Terminal and Root checker or something, but whenever I try to do anything(run bat or manually run command) this appears:

* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
failed to copy ‘recovery.img’ to ‘/data//recovery.img’: Permission denied
/system/bin/sh: cannot create /dev/block/nandg: Permission denied

Click to expand...

Then I installed Root browser and Fileslick to manually change the permission of the data and dev folders, Rootbrowser crashes, Fileslick just crashes the entire system, looks like Micromax had changed something with this, I have android 4.0.3 installed. Nothing works, period.

NVM: 3rd time's the charm, altering permissions did it.

To krishnandu.sarkar: Please add the following data to your guide:

Anyone getting permission denied must use Fileslick app to manually set permission to /dev and /data folders in root.

Also note, when using fileslick the tab may crash and get stuck in white screen, please reset the tab to continue(shutdown tab, press rest for 20 sec).

If everything fails, force flash by using livetools.

How is it at watching videos ? I mean the screen resolution and quality.

Watching videos is pretty good. Playing Full-HD video is a breeze.
In videos you won't notice any pixelization even with its small screen resolution.
Though the viewing angles are average IMO.

Edit : I have not yet watched Youtube videos so can't comment about them.

Watching youtube video is similar to pc. Playback is butter smooth thanks to Dual-Mali 400 GPUchip.

Yes, same thing happened to me as well.

Do this:

Shut down tab by long pressing the power button.

Use a safety pin to press the button inside the reset hole for 20 secs.

Restart tab.

Really nice, switch to 32bit color depth in mx player to see the magic.

And I'm rocking Cyanbook 0.3 now, never going back.
